A mate of mine had one of those. He lives in Mexico now. although not as a consequence.
We did make some recordings with it and it did work but it felt like it would come apart in your hands.

Saw this on the Bay, new to me-

You forget that it was common for manufacturers to have graph decals on equipment. I wonder how many Amstrad owners studied these frequency performance curves? :lol:

So long as it looked futuristic, I think the desgners used Crayons. The decals were never to be trusted on anything silver.
I must admit, I only got given Amstrad stuff and it was always half bust, I never bought anything from them. Binatone, Ingersoll, Pro-Line, Matsui, Morphy Richards and Crown seemed better made.
Had one of these back in the day, hooked up to Solavox speakers.
Still remember the switch crackle through teh speakers turning the loudness on.
Suger was damn good at the percieved value thing.

Regardless of sound quality, the looks and styling of it are good. Only by close inspection can the 'fit and finish' be determined.
My father had a cheap Teleton integrated amp (SAQ-206B), which was well screwed together and looked good in a '70s sort of way.
Amstrad probably bought a shedload of fascias from one of the big Jap manufacturers' outgoing models and stuck it to the front of a tin box full of crap bits. At a glance it looks proper, the only dodgy bit is the Amstrad logo on the back of the perspex in Letraset ;)
OK until you look in the back.
